The Executive Women International Scholarship® Program (EWISP) has been helping high school juniors achieve their academic goals for over 35 years. Recognized by Money magazine as one of the top 12 scholarship opportunities in the United States, EWISP allows selected students to compete at both the EWI chapter and corporate levels for scholarships. This scholarship program has been approved by the National Association of Secondary School Principals and the American Vocational Association. In 2012, EWISP will award High School Seniors.
Qualifications:
- The scholarship is open to all high school seniors in public, private and parochial schools.
- Students must use their award toward earning a four-year degree at an accredited college or university. (Students may attend a two-year accredited college, but only as the initial step in the pursuit of a four-year degree).
- Nominations are being accepted from December to February.
Judging Criteria:
Students are judged on merit based on their application materials, oral and written communication skills, creativity, scholastic records, involvement in extracurricular activities, leadership qualities, awards and honors, citizenship, attitude and clearly defined career goals.
EWI of Honolulu awarded $8,500 in EWISP awards in 2011. (The EWISP award was previously awarded to high school juniors.)
